Maria: Hey Sara, how's it going?
Sara: Hi Maria, I'm doing well. How about you?
Maria: I'm doing pretty good. I love coming to the flea market on Sundays. There's always such interesting stuff to look at.
Sara: Yeah, me too. I just found this really cool vintage lamp. I'm thinking about buying it.
Maria: Oh, that looks nice. How much are they asking for it?
Sara: They want $50 for it.
Maria: Hmm, that's a bit steep. Do you think you'll be able to haggle the price down a bit?
Sara: I'll try. I've had some luck negotiating prices at other flea markets.
Maria: Good luck! I'm going to keep browsing. Let me know if you end up getting the lamp.
Sara: Will do. See you later.

Maria: Hey Sara, have you had any luck negotiating the price of the lamp?
Sara: Actually, I was able to get them down to $40. I figured it was still a good deal for a vintage lamp.
Maria: Yeah, that does sound like a good deal. I've been looking at some of the jewelry here. There's a vendor with some really unique pieces.
Sara: Oh, I love jewelry. Let's go take a look.
Maria: Great idea.
As they walk over to the jewelry vendor, Maria points out a particularly beautiful necklace.
Maria: Look at that necklace. It's so intricate.
Sara: It is beautiful. How much are they asking for it?
Maria: It's $80.
Sara: That's a bit out of my price range. But it is really pretty.
Maria: Yeah, I'm tempted to buy it myself. But I'm trying to save my money for a trip I'm planning.
Sara: Where are you planning on going?
Maria: I'm thinking about going to Europe. I've always wanted to visit Paris and Rome.
Sara: Oh, that sounds amazing. I've never been to Europe.
Maria: You should come with me! It would be so much fun.
Sara: I would love to, but I'm not sure if I can afford it right now. Maybe we can plan for it in the future.
Maria: Definitely. Let's
keep it in mind. In the meantime, let's keep shopping and see what else we can find.
